During the Renaissance period, it wasn’t enough to master only one facet of life. Nino DiMarco is a great example of a “Renaissance man”, travelling to America to study and then work as a professional Jazz drummer, before moving into a corporate career firstly in the banking industry and in recent years as CEO of a major not for profit. Along the way he completed an Economics degree and became a property developer. This is a great story of a man from humble beginnings as the son of new immigrants to Australia, who has gone on to have an amazingly diverse and interesting career.
